Metropolitan Line (1)

Susan Hall: What regular contact are you having with TfL regarding the continuing delays and problems with the Metropolitan Line?

The Mayor: I have been personally briefed on this and have asked Transport for London (TfL) to send me and my Deputy Mayor for Transport, Heidi Alexander, regular updates on the progress made to resolve the issues. I know the last few months haven’t been easy for Metropolitan line customers, but TfL is doing everything it can to restore a reliable service for customers during this complicated project.

Green Belt developments

Nicky Gavron: Can you provide a list of all planning applications which have been approved in the past five years which have included development on Green Belt or Metropolitan Open Land?

The Mayor: A list of planning permissions on Green Belt and Metropolitan Land is provided on the attached sheet.
As the definition of development is broad, this includes previously developed land alongside proposals such ashuts for staff in parks, the provision of natural play space and the creation of wetland areas.
